Agreed 100% - I would always suggest leaving some room for safety as well. If someone wants to chase closer to that edge, there needs to be constant checking on battery temperature, etc - I'm rather lazy and don't like babying them like that

Personally I don't own or have used the 3100Mah Purple EFest 18650's (I own and use the 2500MaH Purples on a daily basis) - but have done some research on them and here is what I take away from them vs the Sony VTC5s: Sony VTC5 vs 3100Mah Purple EFest 18650 1) Maximum Safe Continuous...

That sucks - both in one day :-( Would have been happy to help out if you were up in Pta, have a few spare eGo Batts I never use nowadays. Maybe someone here from Cape Town could help you out?

Makro stores (not sure about all of them) usually have a container outside the store where you can dispose of old electronics (looks like a container with Fujitsu branding on the side) I see more recently, they have partnered with Samsung to handle e-waste disposal (16 May 2014)...

I also ordered 2 VTC5's a while back from VapeMob, they do indeed seem to be legit - checked the gap on top. Honestly, I would be very surprised if these fakes slipped past them

Glad to be of assistance, I feel your pain - I don't understand why they would provide false information on their own products; any good vaper does a ton of research before plunging head-first into something :confused: I found the following while searching for some answers on the Purple EFest...

I'm happy to be of help - especially when it comes to battery safety :D Doing a lot of research and reading in that field at the moment. Share the knowledge, share the power

Correction on purple calculation: 15Amp - 3Amp for safety = 12 Amp safe limit = down to 0.35Ohm build @ 4.2 Volts (freshly charged)

EFest 18500 Purple looks fine (tested up to limit of 15A continuous): http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/showthread.php?384998-Test-Review-of-Efest-IMR18500-1000mAh-(Purple)-2014 Conclusion These battery has very good high current performance, but the size limits the capacity (If you have...

Packages are man-handled? :( I hope to get mine un-man-handled, fingers crossed here Initially I was looking for some ceramic tweezers, ended up ordering plenty of other stuff as well - with their prices, it's hard to ignore the temptation :D Wanted to ask you guys - I'm in Pta and took the...

Hey Nick, just to be on the safe side - always confirm that your build is below that 32Amp limit (Use this link to easily calculate Amp draw you are likely to expererience: http://www.rapidtables.com/calc/electric/ohms-law-calculator.htm) I would suggest leaving about 5Amps of room (so a build...

Not likely Nick - Those Efest batteries are rated at 32Amp continuous power delivery (With 64Amp only being the peak rate, which for all intents and purposes, does not mean much) 32Amp continuous power delivery is 2Amps more than what you would get from a Sony VTC 5 Have a look here for the...

Energy from JustB during the day in my Nautilus Condensed Milk from JustB at night in my Tobh I have to say - letting the condensed milk sit to steep for a bit, mmmm, big nomnomnom :D I've heard it pairs really nicely with fruity flavours - I have yet to give that a go; but I can say it does...

My old trusty Hades + Tobh combo - love the big chunky beast paired together with the smooth lady :h:

That sounds fantastic, would love to feel it in-hand as well :D My car is currently at the dealership getting serviced, so perhaps if you are free the Thursday or Friday after work / the weekend, I'd like to swing by and check it out How does it look with a 22MM Atty up top (any overhang?)...

I was actively searching for someone that went ahead and got the IPV2 - how is your one holding up so far? Really tempted to get one, but not entirely sold on whether it will last for a good while

Great find! Thanks @Alex I also read and found your post about formaldehyde as a by-product of vaping really interesting - it's probably the only substance formed we inhale as vapers that make me a bit uncomfortable at this stage Now if only someone could make a low powered and compact...

Woohoo, got some Just B juice in the mail today! Thanks goes out to @Just B for sending this out all the way from Durbs :D Currently vaping some of the Cherry Pop, and it's mighty tasty. The rest of the juices also smell delicious

How are on-the-spot transactions for purchases handled? Card Device/Laptop + Payfast? I have a feeling I am going to spend some money judging from the pictures posted from the previous vape meet

RSVP'ed - This should be fun, looking forward to my first vape meet :D (I'm really curious to see a Reo, feel it in hand and maybe, if someone is willing, have a few puffs since I am hearing good things about the Reomizer. Will bring my own drip tips of course)
